Chris Carpenter  
Starting Pitcher | Seattle Mariners

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Carpenter can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Carpenter's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He gobbles up comebackers, sometimes roaming far from the mound to get a glove on a ball. His pickoff move is merely average. Carpenter is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Carpenter has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
If Carpenter doesn't perform, the Seattle Mariners won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Seattle Mariners are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
